iStoria helps you build and retain your vocabulary through engaging, interactive exercises. To truly master a word and move it to your long-term memory, here is how the vocabulary system works:
1️⃣ Practice and Customize
Tap the Practice button to train your words using flashcards and multiple-choice questions.
Tip: You can customize your learning experience! Head to your settings to choose how many times a word needs to be repeated (1, 2, or 3 times) before it is considered practiced.
2️⃣ Master the 6 Key Skills
To fully learn a word, you must master it across multiple proficiency levels. The app will automatically guide you through these skills:
Reading: Understanding the word in text.
Listening: Recognizing the spoken word.
Identifying: Connecting the word to an image.
Pronunciation: Speaking the word correctly.
Spelling: Writing the word accurately.
Usage: Applying the word in the correct context.
As you complete each skill, a green dot will appear next to it so you can easily track your progress.
3️⃣ From "I Learn" to "I Know"
"I Learn" List: All new words start here.
"I Know" List: Once you successfully complete all the skills for a word, it automatically graduates to the "I Know" list!
Need a refresher? You can remove a word from the "I Know" list at any time, and it will jump back to the "I Learn" list for you to practice again.
